Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 3/4oz Brass fishing spoon #2994

Brass tones give this 3/4oz (21g) spoon a classic aesthetic that collectors of American vintage tackle immediately recognize. Measuring 3" (7.5cm) in length, this Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, product code 2994, features the iconic pair of large, light-reflecting red faceted beads set into the upper body. These "eyes" are designed to catch light and provide a focal point for predators like pike and perch, especially when the lure is used for the slow retrieval techniques it was built for. The specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with a clean and highly reflective metal surface and crisp stamped lettering from the USA-based manufacturer. It comes equipped with a single, sharp treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring.
